Village Victorian Guest Book

Our guests say so many neat things to us when they say their good-byes and leave... that is really a great feeling... that somehow we have accomplished our goals... giving people a really good experience... a chance to kick back a little and enjoy being pampered a bit. As great as those nice things they verbalize are... it still truly amazes me that so many folks take the extra time to write nice things in our guest books.

Strangely enough... since we are in the hospitality business... these things oft times are about our level of hospitality... :) ... the great breakfasts they get... the great conversations... and the laughs.

Thank you for the lovely stay. We hope to return soon and explore the skiing scene more.

It was a great experience. Truly like visiting our grandparents... Hope to be back some day.

Your cozy home provided a wonderful retreat and my days here will be fondly remembered. The cozy fireplace, peaceful music, delicious breakfasts were most comforting. Thank you for such attention to details and for the way you seem to welcome people into the heart of your home.

We'll recommend you B&B to any one else in New Zealand heading this way.

Thank you so much for your extraordinary hospitality. Bed and Breakfast in your country is completely different to where we come from, but it should be like we experienced at your "Village Victorian".

Thanks for accommodating all of my speial needs. Pre-race doping drinks in the fridege, skim milk, etc. What a great breakfast! Surely I have good fuel to run up Mt. Mansfield. Good sleeping too. And thanks for taking me in a day early when the race moved up because of Hurricane Irene tomorrow. Lovely visit!

This Lilac Room is so beautifully decorated and accomodates the 4 of us perfectly. My kids were quite enthralled with the deck. For some reason, when you said the Lilac Room was available I imagined a room painted ith 4 walls of lavender and became a little worried. But then a customer breakfast and Ellen's sweet patient voice over the phone attracted us here as well as the reknowned breakfast custom made. Love the ambiance, you maintain your property beautifully. Thanks for making us feel so special. Hope our late arrivalwas not too intrusive. I will rate the breakfast next. It was grand! Aloha.

ASTER SUITE

We stayed at the Village Victorian for three relaxing and wonderful days. The rooms were immaculate and well decorated but it was Philip and Ellen who made the experience just perfect. Philip and Ellen spent time with all the guests, as did we, making the visit feel like visiting with family. The gift shop has treasures for those who are four years to ninety-four years. It is fun to just browse and hear the stories about how the gifts are selected - thank you, Ellen. As for the "chef" - couldn't be better. Thank you Philip and Ellen. We just thoroughly enjoyed our stay and will definitely return if we travel to Vermont again.

Thank you for a wonderful stay - we appreciated your hospitality (especially for our 10 month old son!) and we had a wonderfully relaxing start to the New Year!

What a beautiful, quaint little secret treasure you have here. We loved our visit here, getting to know the two of you, stories of you family and a wonderful breakfast. Thans for the new cooking tips on bacon (The best we've ever had!!) We would love to come back, especially with our girls - they would love it!

Thanks so much for a very relaxing stay. After skiing all day, it was nice to come back to such a warm, friendly comfortable place.

May Jesus bless each and every one. May the Lord continue to use your gifts of hospitality. We have truly enjoyed our stay and time with you.

This is my second time here. My husbands first time. We only stayed one night but during our stay have talked about coming back soon. The Aster Room is comfortable and relaxing. The Bees Knees was a fun and tastie place to eat within walking distance. Cadys Fallls Nursery and Stowe Farmers Market is in our plans today after a wonderful breakfast. So much to do for a small town. Thank you so much.
